A definitive collection of essays and documents on the movement behind Irans mass protests
Since June of 2009, the Islamic Republic of Iran has seen the most dramatic political upheaval in its three decades of rule. What began as a series of mass protests over the official results of a presidential electionengendering the slogan Where is My Vote?has grown into something much larger, indeed the largest political protest since the 1979 revolution.
The Green Movement has been described as an Iranian intifada, a great emancipatory event, a grassroots civil rights movement a century in the making, and something quite extraordinary, perhaps even a social revolution. What are the movements aimsare they revolutionary, reformist, or something else altogether? Does it have a chance of fundamentally changing Iranian politics or removing president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from office?
This momentous anthology explores these critical questions and others by assembling the key statements, communiqus, manifestos, interviews, and debates to have emerged from this vibrant social movementmany of which are translated and published here for the first time. This indispensable volume is the first to bring together the leading voices and key players in Irans Green Movement, providing an intellectual and political road map to this turning point in Irans history and a vital resource for the study of Iran, social movements, and the future of the Middle East.

PRAISE FOR
THE PEOPLE RELOADED:
THE GREEN MOVEMENT AND THE
STRUGGLE FOR IRANS FUTURE

In bringing together these essential texts from and about Irans Green movement, Nader Hashemi and Danny Postel have opened the door for critical engagement with one of the most significant social movements in the Middle East today.
Orhan Pamuk

The editors of this collection have put together an extraordinary resource to help further the development of democracy and social justice in Iran. It brings together vital contributions to the debate about Irans future and invites all those concerned with this future to become active participants in its definition.
David Held, London School of Economics & Political Science

This anthology illuminates the ethical demands at the core of Irans Green Movement, one of the most vibrant and promising social forces on the global horizon. The People Reloaded plunges us into a defining conflict of modern political history: how nonviolent democratic resistance might succeed in the face of a repressive regime. Defeat often seems inevitable and change never seems to come fast enough. And then, all of a sudden, the dam bursts, time accelerates and nothing can stop it. This welcome volume provides an anatomy of how this process is unfolding in Iran today, whatever its eventual outcome.
Simon Critchley, New School for Social Research

Words, yes, words and justice and bodiesthats all the Iranian human earthquake called the Green Movement has had on its side from the start of its peaceful insurrection. The bodies have been beaten and jailed and persecuted and the justice is a long time coming, but the words, the indispensable words that have always been at the heart of that countrys history, the words are finally available in one crucial and moving and thought-provoking book. Here is proofas if Gandhi needed proof, as if King needed proofthat the people of Iran will prevail.
Ariel Dorfman

The People Reloaded: The Green Movement and the Struggle for Irans Future includes very insightful, informative, and original brief analyses by outstanding Iran specialists such as Asef Bayat, Ervand Abrahamian, Fred Halliday, Reza Aslan, Juan Cole, and Robin Wright. Readers may take their pick among numerous readable articles from inside and outside Iran and find new and varied views that shed much light on the genesis, development, and future of this important movement.
Nikki Keddie, author of Modern Iran:
Roots and Results of Revolution

For all those who are interested in the new shapes of democracy in our world, and who felt deep solidarity with the Iranian protests last year, and horror at their suppression, this collection offers precious insights into the historical sources and future potentials of this great movement.
Charles Taylor, McGill University

The events of June 2009 marked a turning point in Iranian politics. This timely collection of essays and articles is of capital importance not only for all those who take an interest in Iranian affairs, but also for students of democratization and of social movements.
Houchang E. Chehabi, Boston University

This anthology on the Iranian Green Movement is the most impressive collection of writings on one of the most inspiring and democratic movements of our time. This volume is a rare resource for anyone who is interested in the understanding of post-Islamist social movements.
Ali Mirsepassi, New York University

THOSE WHO STOOD UP FOR TOLERANCE
Hafez

May days of loves reunions be remembered
May those days be remembered, may they always be remembered.
My mouth is poisoned by the bitterness of grief;
May the toasts of those happy drinkers be remembered.
Although my comrades are free from remembering me,
I remember them all constantly.
Though Im captured and bound by this misery,
May the attempts of those who stood up for tolerance be remembered.
Even though a hundred rivers constantly flow from my eyes,
Zayanderud irrigates for those who make gardens, may it be remembered.
From now on the secret of Hafez will remain unspoken.
Have pity on those who must keep secrets; may that be remembered
.
